They de- cided in favor of the change by a vote of to 3. Hardly any other act ion could have been taken under the circumstances, and the Legislature will undoubtedly coincide with the views of the Committee, who have given the matter such careful and exhaustive consideration.

Horrible Holocaust.

At Wausau, Wisconsin, op Saturday MORN
ing Carl Honikel and his five children were
burned to death at their residence. The fire
broke cut In the summer kitchen In the rear
of the building, and Honikel was seen to
throw his wife from the window and return
after the children. He wac found lying or
his face with two of the children in his arms
both dead. Two of the Others were taken
from the building alive but died before
o'clock. The fifth suffocated before 1t could
be rescued. The building was wooden
structure, double boarded, filed In with saw
dust and very infammable. The front was
used for sleeping rooms and the back as q
kitchen. The fire started in the kitchen, and
the family were doubtless asphyxtated before
they were reached by the flames. The fire de
partment wGs very slow IN responding to the
alarm. Honikel was hari-worliag, indus
trious German. When dragged through the
window he had clasped in either arm the IN
animate bodies of two babies. The casualty
is one of the most dreadful thathas happened
in the vicinity, and what makes 1t seem worse
is that the building YVES fired by an incen-
diary. Mrs. Honikel is still alive, but her
Injuries are of q serious nature. Since recog-
ering consciousness ard on learning the fate

Maturity Of Ensilsge Corn.

John Gould says in the Press that the
maturing of ensilage corn has been car
ried to its farthest point in Ohio this
fall, and that not until September rs
was silo pitting fairly under way. This
gave the fodder chance to mature
more fully than ever before. The ex-
pectation from this venture is that the
silage will prove superior to any pre-
viously pitted, He noticed that many
of the ears Of corn he'd even passed the
cooking stage and had become hard
and even dented, and yet the stalk
maintained its dark and lusty green.
The value of such silage caunot be
doubted, whatever may have been
charged against the half grown, grain
less fodder cut in August. which was
once considered proper practice. The
slower filing gives the silage chance
to settle, in which it is aided both BY
it's own weight and the heating; the lat
ter appearing very helpful in the close
and solid massiDg Of ths fodder to The
exclusion Of ar. This air exclusion
seems to be the important point IN
sweet silage making, and numerous are
the ways now. devised to accomplish
this, and avoid the greater cost stone
and cement silos. This season the silo
men are all shortening up the cut OF
their machines to one-third and one
half inch lengths, and By this finer cut
the silage settles faster and takes on
heat more readily. The more mature
the fodder the slower it develops heat,
and this hardness is nearly overcome
by finer slicing.

President Rockefeller Examined by the
Interstate Commission and Gives Some
Idea of the Magnitude of the Oil trust.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-J. D. Rockefeller,
chairman Of the Standard Oh trust, was ex
aAined before the interest commerce COM
mission today in connection with the Stand
ard Oh cases. Counsel for complainant
asked witness to produce a paper which he
had in hand giving q list Of the stocks OF the
various companies held in trust. Immediate
iy counsel fer the Standard Oil trust and for
several of the defei dant railroads interposed
objections, the former on the ground that
tie Standard Oil trust was not party to this
case and that the production of the paper
wfhld be an unnecessary aud irrelevant dis-
closure of the winess' private ef1.rs. The
commission decided that the paper should be
produced. Coun,e ell for complainant proceed
ed to question witness within The rulings OF
tine commission. Witness said:
The stock of the Standard Oil company, of
Ohio, the Standard Oil comnany. Of Ken

company, of st. Louis, aud the Consolidated
Tank Line company, of Cincinnati, was held
by the Standard trust. The stock Of these
companies was received from the owners and
the certificates of the trustissued In exchange.
The profits of the several companies were not
divided among the stockholders. but were
paid into the trust and then divided among
the holders Of the trust certificates. The ag-
gregate of outstanding certificates was about
$9), 600 600. Sixty-fve per cent. Of the Oil re-
timing business Of the country was done by
bis company. The trust certificates ware
held in all parts of the country. The trust
had nothing whatever to do with tie making

Hearing In the Standard OH Case Nearly
Completed. and The Pr aspect Looks Bad
for the Company.
WASHINGTON, Nov 27.--The hearing in the
petition which charges discrimination on the
part OF several railroads on behalf of the Stan.
dard OH company is nearly completed before
the interstate commerce commission. It Is,
OF course, not possible to forecast what the
decision Of the comm 'ssion will be. But even
those who have closely followed the case will
be much mistaken IL the decision does not
show thet the CAGE has been made out. There
have been some limitations In the course OF
the hearing that the answers of the defendant
railroads have not been satisfactory. 01ce
even emile OF the ueuaily imsassive chair
man of the commission, Judge Cooley, has
been interpreted to mean that the petitioners
had scored point. The stsndari Oh comps
ny will receive justice ct The bands OF the coir-
mission, hut the fact that its chief representa-
tive has admitted that 1t controls trust OF
about $50, COO, 000 Of capital will certainly not
overawe the commission. The wisdom Of the
law which created the commission will, per-
haps, be slgnaily shown by the decision which
may be expected from the evidence already
taken. Very little more testimony is to be
heard, then the arguments will begin, and the
Standard Oil company will undoubtedly be
represented by the most eminent legal talent
In the country.
